NIL Collectives have arrived in the FCS, with more launches coming.
Typically created by alumni/donors/supporters, NIL collectives are independent of a university and athletic department. They pool funds from donors to help create paid NIL opportunities for players.
Below is the running list of NIL collectives in the FCS. Please DM Sam Herder if there are any more to add.
The below collectives vary in terms of football-focused or all-sports-focused.
